Boy, you and I do not see eye to eye on this (no, I'm not one of the FDR fanboys) so I shall say, agree to disagree and leave it at that.

I'd love to hear someone try and validate what FDR did, to PM we go? I won't be on much after today til next week, headin home for my birthday, but I'll bring some books back with me to strengthen my arguments.

I dont disagree on the Pearl Harbor part or the rest, just the prolonging of the Great Depression part. As for taking this to PM, I have to admit that arguing over historical political topics isn't exactly something I feel like doing. And doing it over the internet just makes it even less appealing. Maybe another time.

awww, I love talking about the great depression. The 20s and 30s is a great case study for the austrian school of economics, really highlights how central banking when affiliated with central power can either go haywire and screw a nation (the great depression) or can be quickly handled if a re-adjustment isn't meddled with (the depression of 1920)
